Hi Muskan,
There isn’t anything that directly lets you load a CSV and generate
models for it as far as I know (I may be wrong).
But check out the Django documentation’s HOWTO on integrating with
legacy databases -
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/howto/legacy-databases/.
One possible solution for what you’re trying to do may be imagined as
a flag for the ‘inspectdb’ command that lets you pass a CSV file?
Just a thought.
Good luck with GSOC.
Onward,
Arvind

Hi everyone,
I am Muskan and am very new to this community however not that new to
django itself. Contributing to django is something I would really like
to
do, and I might also be participating in GSoc for the same.
I have an vague idea of what I want to fix, because I myself have used
django and just want to add things as a developer that I would've
wanted as
a user. So my question is understanding based around this idea of
mine.
*I want to know what functionality already exists that makes it easier
to
directly load a large data set into a django model from a CSV file
(going
with the simplest format or now).* When I had to do it as a user it
took me
quite a while and was a lot more complicated than I had expected,
after
being used to smooth transitions with load data. I could not find any
better methods to do it, if there indeed exists no other methods, this
is
something I would like to work on.... So this is just to confirm if my
research was thorough enough (very possibly wasn't).
Thank you! I'm excited to begin helping out!
